CHAPTER 5.
THE mad SCIENTISTS
When Saffron reached school on Monday morning she walked straight past the circle of mobile phone junkies with a satisfied smirk on her face. This time she was far from jealous. Her fantastic little friend, Mobo, had functions to beat the fanciest mobile phone anyone could imagine.
‘You look just like the cat that got the cream,’ joked Abigail, as she bounced past into the classroom.
‘You bet!’ answered Saffron.
The weekend had been crazy and amazing, and she couldn’t wait till this afternoon when she would get to see Mobo again. Her mother’s two friends would be here today and she was going with them to show them Green Mountain.
As always, when there is something exciting to look forward to, time seemed to drag at school. She wished she could tell Abby and her other friends about Mobo - she never had been very good at keeping secrets - so she told them about Athol and Patrick’s visit instead.
At lunchtime, the girls went to the art-room to see how their banners had turned out. Saffron’s painting was really scenic, but Abigail’s banners looked like someone had squashed curried-egg sandwiches all over them.
